Summer is coming to an end, but there’s still time to hit the grill and have a BBQ. Whether you are grilling in the Eagle Island Park or finding a way to add BBQ to your happy hour in Eagle ID, use these ideas to close out the summer in BBQ style.

Grill at the Park

There are a few options in the Treasure Valley for enjoying a BBQ in the park. Downtown, try Julia Davis Park. In Eagle, go to Eagle Island State Park and use one of the public charcoal grills. Enjoy BBQing outside and jump in the water to combat the last hot days of summer. Have a picnic with friends and enjoy the outdoors before the weather changes and pumpkins replace watermelons. Throw a ball around, go swimming, or play a trivia game. Whether you are grilling hot dogs, hamburgers, or something more exotic, throwing a BBQ party can serve as the perfect capstone to another fantastic summer. Just don’t forget the sunscreen and stay in the shade!

Try New BBQ Styles

Looking to add a little spice to your BBQ repertoire? Some of the best sushi in Meridian Idaho adds BBQ eel, or unagi, to their rolls. If one of Idaho’s famous thunderstorms prevents you from going to the park, or it’s too hard to gather everyone outside, try a restaurant with twists on American favorites. From BBQ pork sliders with new sauces to BBQ eel sushi rolls, going to a restaurant with new flavors is sure to spark your imagination for new meals and taste combinations on the grill. Next time you BBQ, try throwing something exotic on the grill, or use flavors from around the world you typically would not use. Try Asian street food on the grill instead of just a steak and potatoes. Street food is already meant for eating on the go, making it perfect for eating at the picnic while playing games as a group.

Boise has been attracting an international population since its inception. In fact, local mining operations drew in so many Chinese laborers that Idaho Territory’s population was nearly 30% Chinese back in 1870. Subsequent immigration, including Idaho’s internationally recognized refugee resettlement program, has brought future Idahoans from Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Bhutan, Thailand, and a number of other countries. That’s good news for residents of the Treasure Valley who have access to a number of exciting cultural experiences from dance groups to places to eat in Meridian. Enjoy this list of fun Asian cultural experiences in the Treasure Valley.
Trade Viet Market

Have you heard of star apples? If not, you’re not alone. The orange-sized fruit (not an apple) is available in Boise at the Trade Viet Market. This Asian grocery store has a selection of goods and produce from all over Asia. If you decide to pick up a star apple, the key is to massage them, break them open, and drink the nectarous, milky juice inside.

The Boise Traditional Chinese Dance Group

This dance group began as an after-school program for students from the Boise Modern Chinese School. The program was so popular that the number of dance classes quickly quadrupled and the official, performing dance group was formed. When the founder of the group, Hua Yan, is not teaching students classical Chinese dancing, the Chopstick Dance, Fan Dance, or the Tibetan Dance (among others, and all in handmade, traditional costumes), she is a multiple award-winning PhD molecular scientist for the J.R. Simplot company. Watching a performance is sure to be a memorable experience.

Japanese Whisky and Sake Sampling

This isn’t your average happy hour in Meridian. If you’re looking for a particularly special experience, visit a restaurant with a wide range of unique Japanese whiskies as well as sake to try. Ling & Louie’s Asian Bar and Grill offers a variety of American and Asian drinks, including a selection of not-to-be-missed fine Japanese whiskies. Enjoy some sake, sip some Japanese whisky, and order something tasty off of their mouthwatering sushi menu.

Ah Fong Apothecary

Dr. C.K. Ah Fong was a mining doctor who’d commonly travel 50 miles one way to tend to an ill or injured miner. In 1892, after a fire destroyed his home, office, and apothecary, he relocated to booming Boise City, Idaho, in the center of Idaho Territory’s largest Chinatown. He was a civil rights pioneer, successfully challenging the local medical board for refusing him a license to practice medicine in 1901 (despite having a medical degree), taking it all the way to the Idaho Supreme Court. Not only that, his son and grandson continued to serve the Treasure Valley until 1971, when the building his apothecary was located in was flagged for demolition. However, the contents of his apothecary have been largely preserved and can be seen as it was on display at the Idaho State Historical Museum.

So whether it’s history preserved, traditional Chinese dance, or a glass of Japanese whisky you’re interested in, the Treasure Valley has all that to offer and more.
